Springorum Radweg

A particularly well-developed piece of bike path. Ideal for driving and nicely integrated. The path is even lit.

Time a negative highlight: in Bochum-Weitmar a new housing development is provided directly on the route. Not only did you change the route, which would otherwise be straightforward and gradient-free, but also changed options for future use. The photos show
the almost plowed rails in front of the settlement
the two turns off the track.
the useless slope on the detour

Finally the hitherto missing piece at the house Weitmar is passable! (10.23.2017)

The Springorum cycle path is now completely paved and thus a wonderful route, even for "racers". In combination with the towpath on the Ruhr great routes can be worked out.

Until Bochum-Weitmar a paved bike path, then to Bochum-Dahlhausen only Holperstrecke. This section will probably be asphalted from October 2018.

A great connection between Essen and Bochum!
From the Ruhr in Dahlhausen to Bochum Stiepel there is no significant traffic that bothers.
Currently we here and there swapped the dirt road for asphalt.
So not yet suitable for racing bikes.

Beautiful and varied route.
At the moment we built a lot there (December 18)

I can confirm Dieter's tip, everything goes in one go through to Dahlhausen. You do not have to drive in the previously unpaved part (which I actually did not find so bad with the trekking bike), nor do you have to drive down in Dahlhausen or close to the road.

An optimal cycle path connection on a former railway line that leads from the Ruhr Valley near Dahlhausen up to the center of Bochum. The route is very well paved, in the lower part there are interesting information boards about the history of mining here in the Ruhr Valley.

A beautiful route, without traffic chaos and with plenty of nature around it, right through Bochum.

A super smooth asphalt, perfect for racing bikes or longboarding. Unfortunately relatively full. The gradient from Dahlhausen to Bochum center is moderate.

Very nice to drive, top paved.

Very good bike path from Bochum City to the Ruhr. There in Dahlhausen connection to the Ruhr cycle path

Very nice bike path. Because of its narrow width, there are often problems between pedestrians and cyclists.

The route is not yet available in the Komoot Planner.

Great bike path to the south of Bochum.
Sometimes also decried as a racetrack or cyclist highway.

Too bad that from the castle park on the busy Hattinger road, which fortunately partly a separate bike path has to dodge. For bikes with sensitive tires, the part of Eva mentioned above is in many places impassable. I'm curious if next spring will be different.

The Springorum is a great bike path. Top paved

Very nice paved route, nice tunnels, currently (25.3.20) very well attended

A super great old railway line that is first class to drive.
Have a good trip and greetings at all times

Great bike path, easy to drive.

A wonderful car-free direct connection from the Ruhr in Bochum-Dahlhausen to Bochum City.

Very nice and well-kept bike path.

Springorum bike path very good to ride everything on asphalt ......
